I’m just going to say it. With all the crazy stuff going on in the world, it’s important that we have people with a calming voice in this ‘sea of aggression ’. Some may say that’s a little harsh, but I need help. There’s too many crazies out there, so the more calm voices we have the better chance there is to turn this negative force around.
It can be hard to be calm and positive when all you see or hear on the news is senseless hate and violence. I try my best and I have met many positive people, but changing the world is a daunting task. Social media sites have many aggressive people, who think they have all the answers, but I suspect they feel protected because this is not a face-to-face confrontation. So, we’ll call them non-verbal aggressors, not full fledged at this time but someone to keep on your radar. The active aggressors are out there disrupting the world. They are the ones in the news.
We can turn things around if we have a calm rational approach to life and express it. Silence will not help. It starts with a smile, friendly gesture, or a helpful hand. We are all different while wanting the same. A smile can turn into a laugh. A friendly gesture starts a conversation. A helping hand is an act of kindness.
Changes don’t usually happen quickly, but the more effort we have from the rational minority the faster change will progress. Let’s get the ball rolling in the right direction. You might surprise some of the people you meet with your friendly attitude, but their surprise will be interrupted by a smile. I’m going to make an effort to be friendly and engaging with everyone I meet. If more of us take this approach it will have a positive impact. Your greatest strength lies in the ability to share your happiness with others.
